Can I start a business with a name that already in use in a different industry?

skin care industry

Like, for instance, starting a lollipop company called "Lick," when there's a restaurant of the same name.... Maybe that's a bad example since they're both food products. Basically I want to start a skin care line but there's already a restaurant out there (in the same state) with that name. I think it's also the model of showerhead or something like that.
Answer
Yes you can. Provided it is a different industry you most certainly can. One persons answer cited the dispute between Apple computers and the Beatle's Apple records, but they didn't realte the whole story. There were actually two disputes regarding both Apples, the latest being that iTunes violated copyrights as well as an earlier agreement between the two companies that Apple Computer could use the logo for COMPUTER related USE ONLY. Not to download music (which is what the record company think it's for).
If you're sensing my point - great. If you're not. let me spell it out for you. The company you want to start isn't in the same industry as this restaurant. Therefore how could any reasonable person confuse a skin-care company for a restaurant chain? There really aren't ways for you two to violate each others good names by operating businesses in the same state but being in different industries.
But don't just take my word for it. Call the office of your state's Attorney General and they will tell you the same thing.
Having operated a small business in my state and have gone through this personally two years ago I can tell you that you have nothing to worry about- IN THIS SCENARIO.

Which skin care products work the best?

In your own opinion, or from what you might have heard from family or friends, which skin care products work best? (More specifically, which one has the best facial cleansers?) Nivea, Olay, Neutrogena, Clean and Clear, etc. Not necessarily an acne regimen, just a regular facial cleanser. Thanks in advance!
Answer
None of the above.
Best selling, but they come back on YA Beauty & Style to discuss why they have acne.
The less products you use, the better for your skin. Some skin and hair care products can cause acne. To help prevent and control acne flare-ups, take good care of your skin. For example, use a mild soap or cleanser to gently wash your face twice a day. Choose ânon-comedogenicâ make-up and hair care products. This means that they don't close up the pores. I use a bath wash like Suave Bath & Body Gel, use a washcloth. Treat your face like the rest of your body, take a shower everyday or wash your face everyday.
The secret is keeping your face clean and oil-free. I also don't use liquid on my face for anything, and very little moisturizer, not even a dime size. Since my face is not dry. Good skin also comes from your good genes. Increase your fresh fruits & vegetables 3-5 servings per day. And programmed your mind to do this day after day, for the rest of your life.
Acne medication could worsen what ever allergies you have, so instead of trying out one product after another, you're actually spreading it around. Example: ProActiv contains a known carcinogen, at a percentage known to promote skin cancer.
Smoking has been shown to make acne worse since it diminishes the delivery of oxygen to the skin and robs it of nutrients, thereby inhibiting cars from healing. Not enough reason to quit? Smoke depletes moisture, making skin lose its luster and look wrinkly.
The beauty industry is a billion dollar business, they know acne is everyone's problem, but instead of saying soap is drying for you, they have to invent an acne product that can worsen the skin as MANY TEENAGERS have experienced during hormonal change, but as you get older those are completely a waste of time & money!
The FDA has called for more safety studies on benzoyl peroxide because of concern about what happens when skin treated with it is exposed to the sun. Until research can establish or disprove a possible skin cancer link to the use of benzoyl peroxide products, the agency plans to require an extra warning and directions on the labeling: "When using this product, avoid unnecessary sun exposure and use sunscreen." and "If going outside, use a sunscreen. Allow [product name] to dry, then follow directions in the sunscreen labeling. If irritation or sensitivity develops, discontinue use of both products and consult a doctor."
